Five city-centre pizzerias worth trying in Trento

Pizzerias Trento city centre

Your guide to pizzerias Trento city centre from Trento: everything you need to know to plan your visit from Hotel Accademia in the historic centre.

Trento is not Naples, but it has some pizzerias genuinely worth seeking out — not for awards or rankings, but for the concrete quality of what arrives at the table.

Re di Napoli

On Via Manci, this place works with slow-risen Neapolitan dough and carefully selected ingredients. The pizzas come out soft in the centre and well-cornicioned. It is not a tourist restaurant: frequented mainly by local residents, it maintains consistent standards even during peak periods.

Lievito

A more recent venue, oriented towards contemporary pizza with alternative flours and unconventional toppings. The crust is crispy outside and well-aerated within. If you want something beyond the classic margherita, this is the right place, a short distance from the historic centre.

Pizzeria al Duomo

As the name suggests, it is centrally located. Not the most refined in terms of technique, but reliable, reasonably fast and works well for an informal evening in the centre. The outdoor seating in summer is a strong point.

La Cantina

Primarily a wine bar with food, it also serves teglia-style pizza for Friday evening aperitivos, with toppings that change according to the season. A different format — more sharing than a meal — but worth a stop if you are in the historic centre on a Thursday or Friday.

Piccolo Bar & Pizza

In one of the lanes off Via Belenzani, this is almost a local secret: few tables, a short and considered topping list, and a direct dough that works. The kind of place that does not advertise and does not need to.

Practical tip

Trento’s pizzerias tend to fill quickly on Friday and Saturday evenings. For the more sought-after venues, booking is recommended. Most close on Mondays or Tuesdays — check before going out.
